Relocation brackets & adjustable PHR

I've got both of these on a 92 z28 and am not sure about how to adjust them. The relocation brackets have about 2 or 3 different holes to mount the arms in. What would the difference be in each hole and how do I go about making sure the panhard rod is adjusted right? I also need to replace my coil springs front and rear. What springs would I need to keep it pretty close to stock? I'd rather not get into the lowering springs because of the issues involved with it.

Relocation brackets - when the car is sitting on level ground, look at the lower control arms. If they are straight (parallel with the ground) you're good. If not, switch mounting holes until they are.

PHR - pick a measuring point that's consistent, and measure. ie, measure from your outer wheel lip, to your fender. Measure left and right (that's why you need to be consistent), then adjust PHR until measurements are same.

Moog 5662 for front, CC635 for rears, are basically stock springs. Chances are they'll raise the car a tad, since your springs now are probably pretty worn and saggy.
CC635 can be replaced by 5665 if desired, CC means cargo coil, and the springs are progressive. I know the cc635 is the right P/N, but I may have goofed on the others, try a search.

In order to adjust the PHR, does the rear axle need to be off the ground while measuring and adjusting?

Measure on the ground, raise, re-measure (for good....measure...), adjust, lower, re-measure, drive around the block, re-measure.... Rinse and repeat.

I think you could just adjust and measure in the air, but things may shift after the tires are on the ground, and you take the car for a spin... Whatever you like.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably get out tommorrow and mess with it some if weather permits. Thanks again and have a safe New Year.
